As he bus no clerk, the store s locked up during his absence. When he returned about 6:45 lust evening he found whe front door unlocked, and An exawioation of the show cuses rovealed the fu that burglars bad entered the place aud taken about forty watchies that were on trays near tbe window. The trays had contamed be- tween forty and forty five watches, but the Ahieves bad dropped three on the tloor in Aheir huste and had not stopped 1o pick them up. Thew haste was shown by the fact that soveral watch crystals had been broken as the watches wero hastily scooped out of the ‘"F' nd also from the fact that a tray of solld gold chuins that lay close ot hand was everlooked. Entrance was effected by pushing in the door 80 that the lock slippud by the socket. The burglary was one of the most dariug or committed fu the city.

George F. Wright yesterday afternoon, when his opinion regarding the passage ot the new bridge bill was solicited. I am positive that it 1s the key to the whole situation, and I belicve that the union depot will be huilt this summer. The only reason why the Milwaukee and Rock Island refused to enter into the depot project was simply because they were unavle to make satis- factory arrangements with the Union Pacific company to cross the river on their bridge. This has been the only thing that prevented all the roads joiming in the umon depot scheme. It has simply been a matter of dol~ lars and ceats with the interested roads. The Union Pacific wauted as wuch as it could Kot out of the Rock Island for the privilege of crossing the bridge, and the Rock Island wanted to get over as' cheaply as possible. The latter road considered Mr. Holcomb's proposition as u little too steep, and declared they would have a bridge of their own. They said the Burlington bad a bridge at Plattsmouth, and the Northwestern and Wabash were already in Omaha, and some- thing had to be done so that they and the Milwaukee could also get across tne river. They said they would get over on the pro- posed Wabash Central bridge, but the Union Pacific did not have anything to fear ou that score, The saw that it was imprac- ticable and told the Rock Island folks that there was no danger of anythibg like that ever happening, as even if they did get into Omaha that way it would leave them away over to the north sidoe of the city and would cost them more for a right of way out to the southwest than for a new bridge. The Union Pacific bad as little fear for one asthe other. The Rock Island fave up the Nebraska Cen- tral idea and set about the new bridge plan in earnest. The bill has now passed both houses of congress and the bridge can be built, 2 *Wherd will be the probable loction?'” “'A third of a mile below the Union Pacific bridge, opposite South Omaha. That is if the bridge 18 built, but I don’t think that it will be. The bill has passed and the Rogk Island will use that as a club to get satisff- tory terms from the Union DPacific. Tne Rock Island don’t want to go to work and put a big sum of money into a bridge when thero isno aeed of 1. They want to get over the river and strike South Omaha and et an extension of thewr line to Fair- ury to commect with their Denver lime. This will bring all their west- ern business through Council Bluffs. The Union Pacific don’t waut another bridge built, and will give a very considerable re- duction rather than see one go up. For this reason, I don't expect another bridge built for several years. If the roads make satis- factory arrangements with the Union Pacitic it is very probable that they would en into a lease of some kind—say for ten yea It that1s done what would be the need of a new bridge! ‘There wouldn't be any. roads to cross on it, for they would be held by a lease. It costs money to build a bridge over the Missouri river, and the roads are not at all anxious to tie up any such amount. ‘“This question of getting over the river has been the only one at jssuc batween the companies. Now that it will b 8o soon_set- tled there will be nothing in the way of the union devot project. These roads must have new depot faciiities, 0 Rock Island isn't any better off than the otners, and they will be'as willing to unite in a union depot as any of thew, My iden is that the union depots in this city and in Omaha will go up to- gether. "'hesame architects will do ihe work, and they will make one job of it. They are out looking over the ground in Omaba today, and I am positive that matters will be so arranged that the situa- tion on this side will cause no delay. I tell you thot the union depot project for the Biuffs never looked so favorable as it does today, and the passage of this bill in con- gress has done more to hasten the matter than anything else that could have been suggested.” ‘“Then the recent action of the council in rescinding its action with reference to re- mitting the waxes of the Union Pacific and giving it @ permanent right of way on Union aveoue was altogether uncalled for 1" “It will simply serve to antagonize them, and make just so much more work for us. We are bound to have these things in time, and everything that is done to antagonize the roads will make it that much harder. ‘There has been altogether too much of this spirit all along, Great concessions have been made to the various companics, butit is these little things that aggravate and annoy them, They are clubbed and pounded, then the council steps up nnd says, ‘See here, we've been clubbing you right along, and if you don't want some more of it you had better build us o uuion depot.’ Now, the tendency of such treatment is to antago- nize the roads, and when we have n favor to ask, it takes a great deal moro work to get it. Of course tho roads would not throw away any money in getung even for such treatment, but there are lots of little things that come up every day whero they can either help a town or imjure it without mak- ing much difference to thew, and then is when these petty annoyauces coms up and the account is balanced, HBut then we are going to have the uniou depot just the same. You don't waat to forget that.'! — - The Council Bluffs Insurance companys’ age annual income since organization been 120,000.00.

T A STORY OF CIVILIZATION. A Beautiful Young Girl Starved to Death in Wicked Gotham, A plain pine’ box 1 a small ante- room at the morgue has attracted much attention during the past few days, and many expressions of sympathy were heard for the strikingly beautiful girl whose silent form was within, says the Now York Wodd. The body was that of a medium-sized, divinely forhed young girl of eighteen years, who was known as Edith M. Cook. [t was clad in a linen shroud, and the rich, soft, wavy brown tresses formed the setting 1o a face that in death was one of sur- passing loveliness. “That child,” said Keeper White yesterda, is the loveliest body that as ever been brought to the morgue. I could not bear to put her among the common herd, so I placed her by her- self.” Edith was an orphan fifteen years old when sho came to this country with her cousin and his wife, who were going to Montana, and who heartlessly aban- doned her. The little orphan secured a position a8 nursery governess in a family in Philadelphin. Her beauty led to her discharge after a retusal to listen to the proposals of the master of the household. She came to New York and became a waitys in a Nassau street restaurant at $3 a week and board, She hired a small room up town for which she paid 2 a week. As this, with her car fare, consumed more than her salary, little by little she was forcod to part with hor cloth- ing. One cold day she came to wor clud in a thin dress and with no sacque. Starvation or dishonor stared her in the face when two mmden ladies made the little nglish girl housekeeper in the apartments which they o:cupied at 250 Madison avenue, Sho had found a haven, but too late. She was taken ill with the grip last Tuesday and was removed to Hellevue hospital. Pueumonia set in and she died at the hospital Thursday. The body was removed to the morgue. A hearse and two carrirges yesterday af- ternoou left the morgue and went to Livergreen cemetery. Theve all that was mortal of the brave, pure little girl was hidden by the grave. e . ’s Most Powerful Tribunal. The highest court of the United States, whose centennial commemora- tion is ut hand, hold a unique place in our form of government and one not found in any other governmental sys- tem, writes Eaton S, Drone in the Feb- ruary Forum. It wields a power greater than is exercised by any other judicial tribunal in the world. 1n no country of Lurope or the east has any court au- thority to make or unmake the snpreme law of the land, to limit the preroga- tives of the sovereighn, to control the powers of the legislature; to shape the form of the government. The functions are exercised by the supreme court of the United States. It holds u power above thatof the chief magistrate of the nation, superior to that of congress, higher than that of any stato, and equaled only by that which made or can amend the consti- tation, Tt can enlarge or limit the prerogatives of the president or the powers of congress. It can change the relations between the state and the na- tion. It can extend or restriot either the central power or state sovereignty. In short, it can make or unmake the constitutional law of the country. It can introduce radical changes into our form of government. Nov only can the gupreme court wield these vast powers, it has long done so and may long con- tinue to do s ey Eskimos Kill 0id People, Like the Indians, the Eskimos often kill the old. Often the old are tired of life and beg to be dispatched, 1f food is searce they ave turned out to starve, whether they like it or not. The superfluous women ave also disposed of in this way, Barbarism shows itself in their treatment of the dead, The body of a favorite wife or child is sometimes vrotected through the winter and de- cently buried in the sprihg; but as a general rule corpses are dragged a short distance from the village and abandoned to the dog The savages have no idea of the mar- riage relation. Women are treated as chuttels, The number of wives a man may have is fegulated not by his pos- sessions, as among our Mormons, but by his ability to maange women.

A VARIETY OF OPINIONS. While Some Differ as to the Conrse, All Agreo That a Good Educa- tion 18 o ‘Jbe com- mendedyBre., Bte, The Classics. In last Sunday’s,3EE were published the views of leadifig educators in this city regarding the advantages to be devived by men of business from a kuowledge of the classics. The follow- ing are the opinions of businoess and professional gentlemen on the same subject: Herman Kountze, president of the First National bank—I think a collegi- ate education a good thing for a young man, It is a good thing for him to havoe, as it enables him to cope success fully with men he meets in busin who are educated in colleges or versities. Not that it better business man, strictly speaking, but it helps him socially. A business man needs good sound sense, but if he is well educated he feels more at home when he meets his business associates in @ sociul way, I leftschool when I was nine years old, and have worked ever since. I never had a college edu- cation, or even a high school etlucation, and I often feel the need of it in cer- tain ways. It gives a man better com- mand of language and enables him to express himsell more intelligently, I have often been at places where I have heard men say things when I knew they were stating what was not true, but T did not feel able to oxpress myself ina way to be understood. For that reason I think a young man is better off in some respects if he has a good classical education, although it isnot absolutely necessary to suceess in bu ness, College-Bred Failuves. S. P, Morse, dry goods—Not by con- aiderable. Whata man needs in busi- ness is common horse-sense and all the education in the world won't give it to him. Some of the heaviest failures wo have had have been those of college- bred men. A man had better put in his time learning some business and he will then be in a position to do some- thing for himself. As a rule, when a man gets a college education, he gets the idea that he doesn’t have to “hus- tle” and the result is, he is a failure. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but I think it will hold good in a majority of cases. ! George E. Barker, president Bank of Commercs clagsical education is un- doubtedly a fine training for the mnd, expanding and developing it to the fullest capacity, but experience rather tends to show that those best qualified for judging attach great importance 10 it and have decided that the time spent in acquiring it is indeed woll employvd. ITaminclined to think, however,that the same energy applied to obtaining pro- ficiency in mathematics and physical science would, in the end, have a better effect, I think in'these bustling times, in the race for fortuné, the greater de- velopment of practical and _physical science is the best, and there is an in- clination to give the old classical educa tion the go by. The range in this superlative branch of study is getting 10 be 80 broad that a man stands & poor show of ever becowing proficient in it. I decidedly prefer the modern educa- tion, aud would advise all young men to sacrifice the classic for the common, practical education. The most promi- nent of our business men have had no classical education. They are men who have ceen compelled to battle with ad- versity, and compelled toacquire habits of great economy and accumulation These were enforced principles. Tl cAassical student may have excelled in the professions and statesmanship, but very few of them seemed to have di tinguished themselves in the business or commercial world. Success alway betokens a man of strong application, and such a man is not naturally fitted for the study of the classies. The in- terest in such matters in these hurly burly times does not exist. Dr. L. A, Mernam—It is a law in sociology as true as any law in any other départment of nature, that the mythical explanations, crude ideas and errors of the ancients linger in the minds of the masses long after the teuth has heen shown. In the natural course of 1ntellectual growth, thinking men began to doubt vhe wisdom of spending valuable years in the study of ancient languages and mythological legends that had little p| ical value in this scientific age. more years ago the only that was worth much was alone to be obtained by studying the ancient lan- guages and was the only culture worthy of the recognitiou of a university. But we live in the present, not in the past, and a half-century has wholly enanged the relations of humuan knowledge. This has been found to be a universe of law in every particular. Regard the change with favor or disfavor, as you please, the fact remawns that the hatural sciences have become the chief factor of our modern civilization; that they are clearing away the cob-webs of ignorance and the mythological supor- stitions of by-gone ages, aud that they have given rise to new professions which, more and more are every year opening occupations to our educated men. The profession of the electrician, of the mining engineer, and of the chemist and many others, which have grown up during the lifetime of many now living are just as ‘“‘learned” as the older professions and are coming to be recognized as such by every univers- 1y, The profession of medicine which was formerly ruled by autbor- ity or traditions has come to rest on a purely Seientific basis. The same is true in'the various vocations of the great majority of all dvilized peo- ple. Why then spend years in the study of Greek and Latin as a meuns of discipline, when thero is a_better dis- cipline in the study of modern science and a discipline that broadens a man’s viows of nature and of life,and prepares him better for the actual duties that may devolve opon.him, Lead the grow- ing mind to study pature and the uni- formity of law ag,taught by modern science and it will give befter disci- pline, greater intellectual power, a hap- pier life, purer ghought and greater success in whatever occupation may be followed than to fill the mind with the fables and myths of a Greek and Latin age. The fixed and erroneous ideas of by-gone ages are hard to down; but science has come to stay. Max Meyer—I deem a thorough edu- cation, classical and otherwise, of very great advautage to a business man, Of course-the business man can and does get along without it, but that it would not materially beneflt and assist him in a hundred and one ways it would be ridicvlous to dispute. The more a man knows, I think, the better qualified he is for business, and even Latin and Greek are of inestimable worth to % Soft Coal, in nut and lump. new Ohio conl superior to of our Hard Coal {anot excelled by any on the market. ber the place. man_carrying on a mammoth bus for instance, that would at time him in contact with the merchants and dealers of foreign nations, And then, what an advantage 1t is to him in socinl life, and social lifo goes with a successful business life in this country. As I said before, bhusiness men can and do get along successfully without this finished edueation, but with it their suceess would be not only ensier, but fuller and broader und more complete. Yos, | think a classieal education would be a good thing for any business man to have, F. C. Garmon—TI am_decidedly of the opinion that a good English education is all a business man should have. To be sure, a thorough education could, in no way, detract from his prospective business success; but it is not necessary. Many of our most suce ul and wealthy business men are men whose educa- tional advantages in growth were of the most meagre description, when such a study as the classies was undreamed of. A good practical knowledge of avith- metie, grammar, spiling and geogra- phy is the edueational foundation for & successful business, and there ave but few hoys and young men today who are not able to ge B P, Ki I esteema business eduecation much more highly than I do a sical or collegiate education, which I will admit, however, is nota bad thing to have. The worst young employes we get ave the college grad- uates—the boy who begins with the broom seldoms fails to distance him in the advancement of business capability. 3ut education, a complete classical edu- cation, compined with a practical one, would be bet than either alone. W. J. Broatch—A classical education is not necessary for business. It quali- fies one for greater enjoyment in life, and, if attainable, is "a very desirable article to possess, In some branches of business o college edueation would bo of much advantage, but ordinarily a common school education answers every purpose. Men succeed in business by close application, industry and careful- ness about small things and not through any knowledge of ancient history. A complete education, however, isa grand thing, and it is a pity that more of us can’t get it. William I. Kierstend of Dewey & Stone—TIam of the opinion that a clas sical or even a collegiate education entirely unnccessary for the succcss of a business man. A common school edu- cation, however, is an incaiculable help. Just 80 a man is able to figure profit and loss and interest he stands a good chance of succeeding in business. In my opinion, nine-tenths of the sterling business mon of this country never went through a higher grade than that in the common country schools. A thorough collegiate education is more advantageous to the professional man, the lawyer, doctor, journalists, archi- tect and so on. Again, I do not believe that education is conducive to hapy ness, because the latter condition only comes with contentment and success. As to a complete classical edu- cation, there is no such thing. We go back to ancient history and familiarize ourselves with what the historian tells us. Beyond that, we cannot go. The more erudite a man 1s, the more ambitious he is to know more. He is incessantly striving to climb higher, and outreaching into the limit- iess bounds of mystery, for thereisa certain limit to all the sciences. Cos- mography, tie fundamental science which embraces astronomy, geology and geography, has been mastered, but to a e n point. The most learned suvants have gotten so far with the as- sistance of wonderful modern applianc of research, but they can proceed no further. As a consequence, they are di isfied and discontente yearning and struggling to g these proseribed bounds, this possible limit of human knowledge. This is what the highest order of education does for man. Of course, such a man is an ornament in the so- cial cireles, and never fails to command the respect, the admiration and I might even say reverence of those inferior to him in educational attain- ments, but not in intellectual endow ment; No, Ido not deem a classical education necessary to the success of o business map.

D. Morse—1 do not think a class- ical education would be of any material advantage to a business man, 1 o young man has a good high school edu- cation that is all he needs in busines Of course, in this western country, a knowledge of the German language is a good thing, but a knowledge of Latin and Greek is of no especiul bonefit, However. an ignorant man seldom makes a good business man. He may, in some instances, be successful and make lots of money, but there como many critical times in his dealing with .the business world when education alone can save him from great financial disuster, if not entire failure. But to avert this no collegiate education is necessary. What is taught in our com- mon schools answers every purpose. Hugh G. Clark—In certain lines of business, I think a classical education would be very advantageous to a man. Tn fact, it would be much of an assist- ance and a benefit in all branches of business. An education gives men a command of language which they could getin no other way or from no_other source, Education makes good con- versationalists, and good conversation- alists experience less trouble in their business transactions than men who can- not talk or express themselves, Some of our men who have but hittle education are business successes, but that does not prove that they would not be greater successes if they were educated. I1do not mean to say by any means that a collegiate education is necessary to suc- cess, but under any and all eircum- stauces it is an undoubted help. I would advise every young man to im- prove his opportunities to store his mind with knowledge, the more the bet- ter. It will never offer any obstruction to hns progress in business, and will be a solace and o help in more ways than can be enumerated. While a classical edu- cation is not necessary in business, it is a magnificent thing to have. e Manuficturing Bogus Coffee.

How an Towa Dobating Society Came to an Untimely End. The benefits which may be deri from well conducted debating clubs are many. They are nurscries of eloquence —national kindergartens of literature— and it1s to bo regretted when discord breaks out_ in one of them. In a local Towa newspaper we find a graphic and appurently truthful account of some re- cent occurrences in the Johnsou’s Ford Lyceum and Literary socio the New York Tribune. ~For some time the society prospered, we are told, and de- cided that Washington was a greater man than Columbus; that the ox was more useful to mankind than the horse; that the enfranchising of the negro was wise, and that the spofs on the sun had no influence on terrestrial affairs. It haa also passed a resolution demanding tariff revision,and another commend- ing thoe republican movement in Brazil. All of these weighty matters were dis- posed of by the Jolinson’s Ford Lyceum and Literary socicty, only to go to pieces on this apparently harmless question: Resolved, That Napoleon wae a greater man than Daniel Web- ster. The leading speaker for the affirma- tive was Mr. Ben Weeks of Ripley City. Mr. Weeks bogan by making a pertinent inquiry into what constituted true greatness. He concluded that it rather in acts than in words. This was the difference between Napoleon and Webster—Nupoleon did something, Webster's fame rested only on words. Who, the speaker asked, could forget Napoleon’s famous motto, **Honi soit i mal pense,” which might be translated, *“1f you ure going to thing, do it.” The speaker would not cast any reflection on Damel Wobster’s great” diciionavy—far from it. But he asked his hearers to look at apoleon on his famous retreat from Moscow, after having burned the city; first taking the precaution to spike the enemy’s fire-engines. Lven in defeat Napoleon wus great, as witness him on the field of Waterloo, when, beaten back by overwhelming numbers, he cried, My kingdom for a horse—lay on, MeDuff!” Mr. Weeks took his sent amid hearty applause. When quiet had been restoved, Mr. Peter Anderson of Johnson’s Ford, the leading negative speaker, rose to reply. Mr. Auderson said that he felt great trepidation in following so eloquent and learned a speaker,lest the contrast be- tween his able opponent’s brilliant ef- fort and his own feebie remarks should be too great for the critical audience which nie saw before him,, However,he would do hishest. First, he must re- sent the insinuations that Daniel Web- ster did little or nothing but write his ereat dictionary. Who stood on top of Bunk Hill monument and delivered the great speech wherein he used these ive me liberty or give me Phe dictionury was merely a ie, compiled in his hours of tion at Tarrytown. Nor must we rot his famous speiling-book.with the nged according tosound, and thie graphic stories of the milkkmaid who longed for the gr 1k gown, and' the er whose 0x w red. Could N done of these things? on thought nov. Had Daniel imply written the unabridged ,or been a statesman only, the speaker would admit Napoleon's superior greatne: but under the circumstances could nots Mr. heard it iid that Daniel Webste was 1e veal inventor of the cotton gin, This, howev: he did wot believe, The fame of Daniel Webster did not need to be bolstered up by ims. He may huve given some hints to the cele- ed inventor of the cotton gin, but me for this greatlabor saving ma- had done s0 much for 15ty must foréver t re it belonged—on the brow of Edgnr Allan Poe. Mr. Ander- son took his seat amid appiause, These two speakers followed by others, who mainly echoed the senti- ments of the leaders, till it came toa pale young man about eighteen years old named Burke, who vd just re- turned from school at Des Moines. He was on the Nupoleon side, and began by saying that he had been much amused y the speuker who had preceded him, He then threw a firehrand into the camp by declaring that they weve all mis- taken—that there were two Webstors, Daniel and Noah, the former T4 the statesman and the latter the loxicographer, and this being the case, by the admission of the other side itself, Napoleon must be decided the greater man. He was just starting that he would rest his case with telligent judges when My, Peter Anderson could contain hiwsell no longer and rose up and seized the young man by the coilar. At this young Burke’s father leaped for Mr. Peter Anderson, Mr. Ben Weeks jumped in, half the lights were extinguished and a general engagement followed, It lasted for twenty minutes, and though no one was seriouly hurt it hopelessly broke up the debating club. Half the people at Johnson’s Ford will not speak to the other half, and it is thought that the feeling developed over the matter will not subside so that the lyceum can be reorganized before anotber winter at least, If the Tribune may presume to offer advice to the people of Johnson’s Ford, it would be to forget the pastand gei together aud again organize the elub. No matter whether the young man was right or not—on with the debate. Neither Napoleon nor the Websters (if there were two of them) would have al- lowed such & thing as this to break up 80 valuable a soc g - The Head-Line Writer and the Poet.

The main line of each stylo of honding must contuin only a certain number of letters, and must call atten= tion to the most salient feature of the article from a news standpoint.
